Completing the Continental Divide Trail: Enhancing Recreation and Protecting Landowners.
This law aims to finalize the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail (CDT), creating a continuous route for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Citizens will benefit from enhanced recreational infrastructure and conservation efforts, while the law ensures that necessary land acquisition for the trail's completion must be voluntary, strictly prohibiting the use of eminent domain.
Key points
Federal agencies must prioritize completing the Continental Divide Trail as a continuous route, enhancing outdoor recreation potential.
A joint team (Forest Service and BLM) will be established to plan, acquire missing segments, and optimize existing trail sections.
Land acquisition for the Trail is limited to voluntary methods (willing sellers, donation, exchange); the government cannot use forced land seizure (eminent domain).
